Happy Birthday, Kosuke Fukudome

Cubs outfielder celebrates No. 31 with teammates, media

WASHINGTON -- Saturday was Kosuke Fukudome's 31st birthday, and the Japanese media presented the Cubs outfielder with a large cake, complete with candles and baseball-themed decorations.

The cake was covered in green frosting, to resemble the grass on the field, and it was supposed to read "Happy Birthday Kosuke Fukudome" in red frosting. However, his name was misspelled as "Fukutome." There also were two baseballs and two bats created out of cake and frosting, although Cubs manager Lou Piniella wasn't quite sure what the bats were.
